โPlease be gentel with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Try not to make big decisions on the worst days. I learned that the hard way. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: A few years back, that was me. It was trying couples counselling and I couldn't see past it. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Sending love.โ
โIt is hard when the person you trusted hurts you. You will feel angry, sad, and confused, maybe all at once. That is normal. Take your time. You do not have to decide anything today. If you can, talk to someone you trust. For me, it was my friend Faisal. He did not try to fix it, he just listened. And prayer helped me when I could not think straight. You will survive this, even if it does not feel like it now.โ
โIf you've just found this place, I was where you are nearly four years ago. I remember checking his phone now like it was yesterday. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.โ
